Former Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield, who attended the OU-Texas basketball game Saturday, was asked about the Red River Showdown. He didn't mince words about the Longhorns: "You come to Oklahoma to beat Texas. I was born and raised in Austin. They didn't recruit me. I grew up 15 miles from their campus. I can't stand them. Anything they do, I don't care. I talked to the NFL guys and they said I need to calm it down a little bit. But when it comes to Texas, absolutely not. No. end of story."

The DI transfer working group has completed its two-day meeting and left Indianapolis without a proposal -- but it made progress toward drafting one in April. Of note, according to Justin Sell, South Dakota State AD and the group's chair, "we are not considering any model that allows you to transfer and compete immediately." But Sell said the group also continues to consider various exceptions that would allow immediate eligibility -- including the Big 12-backed concept to give immediate eligibility to student-athletes whose coaches depart. "Ultimately," Sell said, "it's up to our membership to make the decision. We're a group that's trying to facilitate." The group is now seeking feedback through conference meetings in the spring and will convene again in April with the potential to forward a model to the DI Council for a vote in June.

The Division I transfer working group is meeting today and tomorrow in Indianapolis to further develop concepts to bring uniformity and reform to the NCAA transfer rules. While much has been discussed publicly about immediate eligibility for all transfers and a separate idea from Big 12 representatives to grant freedom for players whose coaches leave, any potential legislation will come from this group. And its priorities are more mundane, seeking to create a proposal on notification procedure, tampering and academic guidelines. The bigger ideas will come together only after all parties -- student-athletes, school presidents and coaches associations included -- are presented ample opportunities to help shape a proposal. "The feelings of panic from certain groups, I guess that's expected," said South Dakota State AD Justin Sell, chair of the working group. "I've been working really hard to tell people we're not there. There's going to be multiple times to give feedback. I think that's really important."
